According to one of the commenters it's working if you have charging issues with the phone. Better try to find some ways to fix it before getting a new phone.

USB A TO USB C CHARGE/SYNC CABLE BY INSIGNIA

Why BLU would send the wrong USB cable is beyond me .but when I plugged in my new cable to my phone it immediately turned on my phone screen and started charging the battery. .. So spend $20.on a USB C cable and start using your phone again ...Really works.

My newly acquired (got it Aug/sept 2016) vivo 5 smart phone went dead yesterday at (March 15) 2017 6 pm . I have been charging every since. But it will not start up . Nothing shown on the screen. Whenever the power cord is unplug and replug there is a slight throbbing sound.
any ideas?

It used to work just fine and the battery life is very long. I only have this phone for less than 3 months now. One day, I charged this phone with a powerbank but still got drained. Now it's no longer charging. I bought a new Type C cord for I thought it is only a cable issue but it not. No led light flashing. Should I order a new battery pack but since I am in the Philippines, there is no service center here. What a waste.
